There is no dobut in my mind that the North Island was one of the most beautiful places I've ever been...and the South then crushed it by about 1000 times, with all apologies to the North (you knew it anyways). I will miss saying things like Cheers, Ta, Sweet As...so I might keep them going here in Canada. Also, November in NZ is actually Mo'vember, where all men are to grow mustaches to raise money for prostate cancer..How can we bring this idea here???
